A 3rd generation gun is a precious thing. A gun that your parent passed on to you from a grandparent is something money cannot buy. I wouldn't sell my grandfathers Winchester model 1912 (mfg. 1917) for $100K, and it doesn't even work. I have a Winchester Model 1907 that my father shot deer with in the 1950's He died this last November, just before deer season. That rifle is 100 years old this year and I am going to shoot a buck with it if I have to stay afield for 16 days ...

When I was a trainee I had an elderly man as a patient. He was alone and lonely. He knew he was nearing the end of his life. He was a writer and a poet. One day he asked me if I would sit with him a little while and maybe read some of his work and talk. I said no. I was too busy. I was young and had a girlfriend to think about and a lot of things to do. I never saw him again. He died a few days later. Alone. What makes me sick to this very day is the fact that I KNEW I should ...
Rivers exist. That statement would be regarded as a solid fact by almost every normal person. What is a river, exactly? All rivers on earth are fluid that is flowing, (Not just water; Have you ever seen a river of LAVA?) impelled by the force (law) of gravity. A river isn't a thing, it is a state of being-the action of a physical entity. The water isn't a river, then it is, then it is gone. The water is temporary. The river is permanent, though following ...
It amazes me how much hatred and opposition I can draw on myself. I was just watching an Australian comedy festival. It's one for up and coming comedians. I noticed that hardly any of them is not a minority. There's gays, lesbian and all different muds. After the mandatory expressions of chagrin and cursing at my screen, I wondered if it would be a good way to win a competition of some kind by pretending I was a tranny or a gay or Jew or something. ...

OK. If just knowing what should be done, and knowing that it can be done is all there is to it; HEADS UP! All you right-handed people! Pick up your pen in your left hand a write a letter to someone! Hell, just sign your own name! Don't you DARE tell me how I should feel! I'm grieving right now, and I don't know when I'll feel like everything is OK again. You're telling me how I should act and feel is an insult to my humanity.
America isn't an evil empire. It is a largely isolated society, isolated by geography, history and its culture. It is continually being agitated with stories that to the rest of the world are preposterus, yet it can somehow believe. Then, seems more than willing to send its own kids, paid for out of its own pockets, to fight and die in far away lands for causes they don't understand and which don't matter to them at all. America is a perfect example of collective insanity. ...
